Fall Colors

As I said in my last post, I have been making a set of cards for a special friend who sends many cards. I used the same composition on all the cards but varied the sentiments and the colors so she will have a variety to send. For most of the cards, I used a flower, but for this one, I used a butterfly for the focal image. This is done with fall colors, but I like it so much I think I might make one for spring in yellows. This fits in an A2 envelope and will go through the mail with regular postage. I just realized that I need to do a couple of cards that will work for a male. Off I go to my crafting nook.
Again I got this idea for layout from Pinterest. I found the designer(not always easy) and got her permission to case. Sherry Hester Here.

Thought I would post the yellow one on this post also since this is the one entered in challenges so more people might see it. I like the spring version too.

In case you are wondering what I do in the evening to keep awake while I sit with hubby as he watches television, I make flowers. Lots and lots of flowers. I am going to use the poinsettia this afternoon for another one of my gift set cards. I have to be done by Saturday when we meet for breakfast.

What a gorgeous card, Kathy!! I love the colors!! The butterfly looks amazing!! This is such a stunning card!! Your friend will absolutely love these!! And what a great idea to make flowers while watching TV!! I'm lazy and buy mine but I have so many flower dies, I need to start making them again. Thanks for the inspiration my friend!! And thank you for playing along with the Scrapy Land Challenge, too!! Have a great evening :)

Gorgeous, yes, but stunning and splendiferous too. I love how you change the colors to match the seasons. These would make great gift box cards for a friend. It is no wonder that you sit and make flowers while watching TV with your hubby. I think we are masters at multitasking. I do the same thing. I also finally used the die that you sen to me this summer. I was hanging on to them as I did cherish them truly. Thanks again!

Oooh okay I think this one is my favorite, just because of the time of year. I LOVE those colors! You are such a sweetie to include this in the wonderful set you are making, they will love, LOve, LOVE them all!

These cards are amazing!! Your friend will be overjoyed to get them. Great idea to do the different seasons. And I am blown away by your stash of flowers. What a great idea, and how handy to just grab something out of your goody box. Super cool!!
